New York in the 1920s. Max Perkins, scholarly manager at Scribner’s Sons is the first to sign such consequent artistic greats as Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. At the point when a sprawling, turbulent 1,000-page original copy by an obscure essayist named Thomas Wolfe falls into his hands, Perkins is persuaded he has found an abstract virtuoso. Together the two men set out to deal with a variant for distribution and an apparently perpetual battle over each and every expression results. Amid this procedure, Perkins the delicate family man and Wolfe the capricious creator turn out to be close – a relationship peered toward with suspicion by their spouses. At the point when ‘Look Homeward, Angel’ turns into a reverberating achievement, the author develops progressively neurotic.
